Julia Scotti is scheduled to open the City of Aventura’s 2026/2027 Aventura Comedy Series on Friday, November 20, 2026, at 8 p.m. The performance at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center is marked for mature audiences, with adult language and content.

The South Florida Sun Times reports that the City of Aventura is presenting the series and that Scotti’s November 20 performance is its first show of the season.

Other Dates in the Series

The Aventura Center’s 2026/2027 series page also lists a December 2026 double bill featuring Dovi Neuburger and Ami Kozak, followed by Rita Rudner in February 2027. With Scotti scheduled for the first show, the announced lineup places those performers later in the season.

The Aventura Center’s event listing says Scotti returned to stand-up in 2011 and became nationally known as a quarterfinalist on America’s Got Talent. The listing also notes that she has performed comedy since the 1980s and was previously named funniest person in New Jersey.

Television, Film and Album Credits

The Aventura Center listing also notes Scotti’s appearances on Comedy Central and Showtime’s More Funny Women of a Certain Age, and her role in the documentary Julia Scotti: Funny That Way. Its credits list Babes, Fabulous Seven Forever (2024), Bros and Relatable Joy. Scotti has released two comedy albums: Hello Boys, I'm Back and Primal Cuts.

The opening-act information is inconsistent across listings. The Aventura Center event page names Eric Tartaglione, describing him as a high-energy comic with a physically expressive act and a former medical professional. The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau listing for the same date says an opening act will be announced.

Inside the Waterfront Venue

The Aventura Arts & Cultural Center is a 14,864-square-foot, 330-seat waterfront venue at 3385 N.E. 188 Street in Aventura. Miami's Community News reports that the Broward Center for the Performing Arts manages the center, which hosts performing arts, cultural and educational programming for all ages.

According to that report, Ticketmaster is the center’s only official ticketing service, and tickets for all shows in the season are on sale. The box office is open Wednesday through Saturday, from noon to 5 p.m., and 90 minutes before each performance.
